Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Yeah, they only didn’t because it was agreed there wasn’t any use in having only 1-2 Hornets. Since no other customer was found and US was forced to tank the other 75% of the deal it was decided to not refund them, to which Thailand agreed since they still wanted to maintain future relations with the US

Yeah it’s not surprising, but still cool

Flight model for thruat vectoring looks like it could use some work, but none the less, should be quite fun. Its going to be keybind hell for sure, having to manage radar, countermeasures, weapons systems, and now thrust vectoring modes all at the same time.

When it comes to AIM-7E-2s, I try to use them on a 3-10 km range! 4-8, ideally.

I mostly base bomb with F-4E not gonna lie, but still carry 4x9Js and 4x7E-2s to engage enemy aircraft just as I’m done with bases!

Why are you a dev ?

  1. Do Bots give full score rewards compared to a player ship? (I know there’s an RP penalty)

  2. Do BP vehicles count as event vehicles (for the rank I-II event vehicle exception for event score)

holy juses

(It’s likely the leaked F8F Bearcat as @Motherhen357-psn pointed out already, Cope Hornet is mostly a joke)

Better off asking for sniper pod

So what is the full loadout we can expect for the Su-30SM, do we finally get a true multi-role mission set?

14 pylons, whats the targeting pod we get and will it be better than what the MiG-29SMT uses?

Are there any benefits to the second seat in the back?

Nope, but plenty of suggestions in for it to do something

Yeah I’m thinking it’s going to be a keybind to toggle TVC on and off.

Ok, i’m about to get the F-15E but i’m a little disappointed about the targeting pod

My question is when will f-18e model be added ?

Why do I need to be a dev to say Thailand wouldn’t get a refund?

In general, the introduction of Rapier itself does not say anything and is not even interesting, considering how they break the characteristics of the SAM. It would be better if the Gaijins repaired the Stormer and its Starstreak. There, in addition to the repaired Starstreak darts, you also need to issue Martlets, even correctly repaired Starstreak parameters most likely will not allow intercepting drones (darts will pierce plastic and explode behind the drone or not explode at all), and Martlets have a non-contact laser fuse.

If it was any other nation, sometime next year. Being US, probably July Update

Yay, more planes to make the Gripen useless. I love maining Sweden.

Yeah, Stormer overhaul/upgrade would have been better than the OSA, Strela, Stormer AD and maybe even Rapier combined
